Periodic event-triggered resilient control for cyber-physical systems under denial-of-service attacks

This paper studies the problem of designing a resilient control strategy for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. By constructing an H-infinity observer-based periodic event triggered control (PETC) framework, the relationship between the event-triggering mechanism and the prediction error is obtained. Then, inspired by the maximum transmission interval, the input-to-state stability of the closed-loop system is proved. Compared with the existing methods, a Zeno-free periodic PETC scheme is designed for a continuous-time CPS with the external disturbance and measurement noise. In particular, the objective of maximizing the frequency and duration of the DoS attacks is achieved without losing robustness. Finally, two examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. (C) 2018 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
